We've been over this before
  And I'm sensing you want more
  I don't need someone who complicates me
    And it's not that I don't care
  But there's some things I can't share
  Girl, I told you I'm not there
    Girl, the world's been down on me
  I don't need someone to own me
  Girl, a lover is all I need
  I'm the one who needs to hold me
    [Chorus:]
  since I met you, I've been hearing the same thing
  And it seems it's all we talk about lately
  So before you go out on the limb
  Don't tell me it's love
  It's that look in your eyes that betrays me
  And the things that you do to amaze me
  Don't tell me it's so
    What I'm offering's what you see
  I'm giving you my honesty
  And I'm sorry if it hurts to hear the truth
    And maybe I will find in time
  That all along girl, you were right
  That I should have made you mine
    But for now I still believe
  That I don't need someone to own me
  Just a lover is all I need
  And someone who's gonna hold me
    [Repeat Chorus]
